Journe Sport Collection stems from an encounter between Fran\u00e7ois-Paul and a major Japanese watch collector who shared his quest for an Haute Horlogerie sports watch. A past master in the art of presenting world firsts, the master-watchmakers duly created the first mechanical Haute Horlogerie chronograph entirely made from aluminium \u2013 meaning not only the case and bracelet, but also the movement.

The decision to use aluminium instead of gold in such accurate and elaborate movements as those of Fran\u00e7ois-Paul Journe gave him much food for thought, as did the development of the techniques to make this metal scratch-proof, anti-allergenic and corrosion-resistant as required for the watch exterior. The result is just as surprising as the original idea, since this version of the chronograph weighs only 55 grams, and bidding for the n\u00b01 piece auctioned by Christie\u2019s on behalf of the victims of last year\u2019s tsunami soared to ten times its retail price. Another striking characteristic of this model is that the 561 components are spread equally between the movement (284 parts) and the case and bracelet ensemble.<\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available as of autumn 2011 from F.P.
